Significant changes in the state of affairs 
On 12 November 2018, the Company completed the sale of 100% of the issued capital, including all assets and related 
management, in Savill Hicks Corp Pty Ltd for consideration of $4.1m.   
5.  Operating and financial review 
5.1.  Operating review  
FY19 was a highly active period which delivered strong growth in Ensurance’s UK business, its investment to build out its 
operations and product offering, a reduction in overheads and efficiencies gained from the disposal of non-core parts of its 
business. 
During  the  period,  Ensurance  launched  a  range  of  new  products  in  both  the  UK  and  Australian  markets,  significantly 
broadening its specialist insurance offering into underserved and emerging growth markets. 
Ensurance UK launched its Cyber Insurance product in November 2018, targeting any business which is responsible for the 
handling  of  customer  data.  Designed  to  minimise  disruption  caused  to  a  business  caused  by  cyber-attacks  and  data 
breaches, the comprehensive product provides privacy breach response management and information security insurance 
and is underwritten by Beazley – a leading global speciality insurer.  The UK business also launched an Engineering and 
Inspection Insurance product, strategically partnering with British Engineering Services to provide a tailored solution for 
sudden and unforeseen damage for the construction and engineering sectors. 
Significantly expanding the Company’s addressable market, Ensurance UK launched Terrorism and Sabotage insurance for 
the UK and European market in May 2019. Providing cover for an act of terrorism or sabotage which results in damage to 
buildings, profits, employees or customers, the product is available to a business of any size and across all industries. Two 
well-known underwriting specialists were appointed in the UK to support the product’s launch. The product is already being 
met with strong interest from the market and the Company has also secured capacity for the product’s launch in the US, 
followed by Australia. 
The Company launched its Latent Defects Insurance product in Australia in May.  This product provides policyholders with 
cover  against  property  damage  caused  by  structural  defects  discovered  up  to  10  years  after  construction  is  complete. 
Targeting the Australian building construction market, estimated to be worth over $100 billion annually, this is the first 
product of its kind in Australia featuring coverage of this kind and will be sold exclusively through Ensurance’s Australian 
network of over 330 licensed intermediaries. Lloyd’s, the world’s leading specialist insurance market has provided capacity 
for the product. 
In FY19, Ensurance delivered strong growth in gross written premiums and the rate of annual policy renewals, following 
continued investment in the UK business and the launch of multiple new products during the period. 
For FY19, gross written premiums were £7m (FY18 £1.9m), with annual policy renewals for the period achieving a 85% 
retention rate – setting a strong base of recurring revenue for FY20 and providing strong validation of the business’ product 
offering and customer satisfaction. 
To support the strategic growth driven by Ensurance’s UK business, the Company appointed Mr Timothy Cramphorn to the 
Ensurance UK board as Non-Executive Director, effective 1 November 2018. Tim was the former Managing Director of HSB 
Haughton Engineering Insurance Services Limited and a Director of HSB Engineering Insurance Limited, owned by the multi-
billion dollar  global reinsurer, Munich Re (ETR:MUV2). With a background in construction and  engineering and over 45 
years of experience in the industry, Tim’s deep expertise and extensive network of industry contacts has proven to be of 
great value, adding relevant insight and bringing highly complementary skills to the UK leadership team. 
The Company completed the sale of Savill Hicks Corp Pty Ltd on 12 November 2018, receiving total consideration of $4.1 
million,  allowing  capital  to  be  redeployed  into  the  appointment  of  specialist  underwriting  resources,  expanding  the 
Company’s product offering and sales and marketing activity to drive the Company’s global expansion plans. The disposal 
follows approval of the sale by the Company’s shareholders at the General Meeting held on 12 September 2018. 
Demonstrating clear support and alignment of the Company’s directors with Ensurance’s strategic growth plans, Executive 
Chairman  and  largest  shareholder  Tony  Leibowitz  extended  a  $2.5  million  unsecured  loan  to  the  Company  in  June,  to 
support its next phase of growth. 
Furthermore, existing holders of $2.2 million of convertible notes agreed to extend the maturity date to 30 June 2021, 
providing further strong endorsement of the Company’s plans from its existing lenders, and their confidence in the long-
term value that is being created for shareholders.

5.2.  Financial Review 
ANNUAL REPORT 
30 June 2019 
a.  Operating results 
The  Group  delivered  an  FY19  loss  after  tax  of  $1.402m,  representing  a  decrease  of  $7.306m  on  the  prior  year  loss  of 
$8.707m.  The decrease in the loss of the group was due to several main factors: 
  Sale of Savill Hicks Corp Pty Ltd resulted in a profit on disposal of $3.648m; 
Increase in revenue in the United Kingdom of $994k; 
  The prior period contained a one-off impairment charge of $2.007m to impair the Group’s intangible assets 
Revenue from the Group’s continuing operations increased to $2.477m (2018: $1.208m). Ensurance UK turned over GBP 
£697k  (AUD  $1.261m)  and  has  shown  strong  indications  of  future  growth,  operating  as  an  MGA  in  the  UK  to  provide 
wholesale insurance for construction and engineering in the UK and EU.  Fully authorised by the FCA, Ensurance UK has the 
ability to sell insurance globally and develop an Appointed Representative Network.  
The sale of Savill Hicks Corp Pty Ltd was completed on 12 November 2018 for consideration of $4.1m and generated a 
profit on disposal of $3.65m. 
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of normal 
business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Details of 
the Company's assessment in this regard can be found in Note 1a.ii Basis of preparation: Going Concern. 
b.  Financial position 
The net assets of the Group have decreased from 30 June 2018 by $2.293m to a net deficiency of $2.294m at 30 June 2019 
(2018: Net deficiency of $778). 
As at 30 June 2019, the Group's cash and cash equivalents decreased from 30 June 2018 by $669,343 to $2,534,136 at 30 
June 2019 (2018: $3,203,479) and had working capital of $2.102m (2018: $1.402m). 
5.3.  Events Subsequent to Reporting Date 
There are no significant after balance date events that are not covered in this Directors' Report or within the financial 
statements at Note 27 - Events subsequent to reporting date. 
5.4.  Future Developments, Prospects and Business Strategies 
Likely developments, future prospects and business strategies of the operations of the Group and the expected results of 
those operations have not been included in this report as the Directors believe that the inclusion of such information would 
be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group. 
5.5.  Environmental Regulations 
The Group's operations are not subject to significant environmental regulations in the jurisdictions it operates in, namely 
Australia and the United Kingdom.

ANNUAL REPORT 
30 June 2019 
The Board has established certain procedures to ensure that the provision of non-audit services are compatible with, and do not 
compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). These procedures include: 
  non-audit services will be subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company and will be reviewed 
by the Board to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and 
ensuring non-audit services do not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision 
making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards. 
The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year by the auditor (or by another person or firm 
on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 
2001 (Cth). 
11.  Proceedings on behalf of company 
No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or intervene in any proceedings to which

The Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year. 
12.  Auditor's independence declaration

13.2. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 
The remuneration policy of the Company has been designed to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate to 
the result delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the creation of value for shareholders, and conforms to market 
best practice. The Board ensures that Director and executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance 
practices: 
  Competitiveness and reasonableness; 
  Acceptability to the shareholders; 
  Performance;  
  Transparency; and  
  Capital management. 
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase the direct positive relationship between shareholders' investment objectives 
and Directors' and Executives' performance. Currently, this is facilitated through the issue of options to the majority of Directors 
and Executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes this policy will be effective 
in increasing shareholder wealth. The Board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members 
and Senior Executives of the Company is as follows: 
a.  Executive Directors and other Senior Executives 
Executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), retirement benefits, options 
and  performance  incentives.  The  Board  reviews  Executive  packages  annually  by  reference  to  the  Company's  performance, 
Executive  performance,  and  comparable  information  from  industry  sectors  and  other  listed  companies  in  similar  industries. 
Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangement.  
b.  Non-Executive Directors  
The Company's Constitution provides that Directors are entitled to be remunerated for their services as follows: 
(cid:1)  The total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the Directors (excluding salaries of executive Directors) from time to 
time will not exceed the sum determined by the Shareholders in general meeting and the total aggregate fixed sum will be 
divided  between  the  Directors  as  the  Directors  shall  determine  and,  in  default  of  agreement  between  them,  then  in  equal 
shares. 
(cid:1)  The Directors' remuneration accrues from day to day.  
(cid:1)  The total aggregate fixed sum per annum which may be paid to non-executive Directors is $250,000. This amount cannot be 
increased without the approval of the Company's Shareholders. 
The Directors are entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, accommodation and other expenses incurred by them respectively in 
or about the performance of their duties as Directors.

c.  Fixed Remuneration  
ANNUAL REPORT 
30 June 2019 
Other than statutory superannuation contributions, no retirement benefits are provided for Executive and Non-Executive Directors 
of  the  Company.  To  align  Directors'  interests  with  shareholder  interests,  the  Directors  are  encouraged  to  hold  shares  in  the 
company. 
d.  Performance Based Remuneration – Short-term and long-term incentive structure 
The Board will review short-term and long-term incentive structures from time to time. Any incentive structure will be aligned with 
shareholders' interests. 
(cid:1)  Short-term incentives 
No short-term incentives were granted during the year.  
(cid:1)  Long-term incentives 
The Board has a policy of granting incentive options to executives with  exercise prices above market share  price.  As such, 
incentive options granted to executives will generally only be of benefit if the executives perform to the level whereby the 
value of the Group increases sufficiently to warrant exercising the incentive options granted.  
The directors of the Company are eligible to participate in the "Ensurance Limited Employee Incentive Option Plan". 
e.  Service Contracts 
Remuneration and other terms of employment for the directors, KMP and the company secretary are formalised in contracts of 
employment. 
f.  Engagement of Remuneration Consultants  
During the financial year, the Company did not engage any remuneration consultants. 
g.  Relationship between Remuneration of KMP and Earnings 
The Board does not consider earnings in determining the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP.

ANNUAL REPORT  
30 June 2019 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
for the Year Ended 30 June 2019 
ENSURANCE LIMITED  
AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES  
ABN 80 148 142 634 
Statement of significant accounting policies 
Note   1 
These are the consolidated financial statements and notes of Ensurance Limited (Ensurance or the Company) and controlled 
entities (collectively the Group). Ensurance is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. 
The  separate  financial  statements  of  Ensurance,  as  the  parent  entity,  have  not  been  presented  with  this  financial  report  as 
permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). 
The financial statements were authorised for issue on 24 September 2019 by the directors of the Company. 
a.  Basis of preparation 
The  financial  statements  comprise  the  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Group.  For  the  purposes  of  preparing  the 
consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of 
these financial statements are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.   
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified, where 
applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.  Historical 
cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. 
i.  Statement of compliance 
These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  of  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  (AAS  Board)  and  International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and the Corporations 
Act 2001 (Cth). 
Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) set out accounting policies that the  AAS Board has concluded would result in a 
financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. 
Compliance with AASBs ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB.  
ii.  Going Concern 
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business 
activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. 
The Group has incurred a net loss for the year of $1,401,735 (2018: $8,707,405).  As at 30 June 2019, the Group had working 
capital of $2,102,369 (2018: $1,401,835), a net liability of $2,293,658 (2018: $778), and accumulated losses of $20,077,097 
(2018: $19,074,092).  The Group has had recurring operating losses as a result of the delivery of new products and cashflow 
generating business units in accordance with the Group’s strategic goals.  
Based on a cashflow forecast, the Group has sufficient working capital to fund its mandatory obligations for the period ending 
12 months from the date of this report.  The Group is exploring various capital raising strategies  and the Group has also 
received  confirmation  of  continued  and  ongoing  financial  support  from  one  of  its  major  shareholders.    This  continued 
financial support will enable the Group to meet its current obligations as and when they fall due.    
Ultimately the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued unconditional financial 
support provided by a major shareholder of Ensurance Limited, which was provided in writing on 19 September 2019. On 
this basis, it is the Directors belief that the Group is able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and will have adequate 
resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Directors consider the going concern basis of 
preparation to be appropriate. 
iii.  Reverse acquisition 
Ensurance Ltd is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. The Company completed the legal acquisition of Ensurance 
Capital Pty Ltd (Ensurance Capital) on 5 May 2015.  
Ensurance Capital (the legal subsidiary) was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes as it has obtained control 
over the operations of the legal acquirer Ensurance (accounting subsidiary). Notwithstanding, as Ensurance Ltd is the listed 
entity and the ultimate holding company of the Ensurance Group of companies, the financial statements have been referred 
to as the financial statements of Ensurance Ltd.  
iv.  Use of estimates and judgments 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions 
that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates 
and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various factors that are believed to be reasonable under

that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
for the Year Ended 30 June 2019 
Note   1 
Statement of significant accounting policies 
ANNUAL REPORT 
30 June 2019 
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised 
in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. 
Judgements  made  by  management  in  the  application  of  AASBs  that  have  significant  effect  on  the  consolidated  financial 
statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in Note 1o. 
v.  Comparative figures 
Where required by AASBs comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current 
financial year. 
Where the Group retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its 
financial  statements,  an  additional  (third)  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  the  beginning  of  the  preceding  period  in 
addition to the minimum comparative financial statements is presented. 
b.  Accounting Policies 
The Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in the financial statements. The 
Group  has  considered  the  implications  of  new  and  amended  Accounting  Standards  applicable  for  annual  reporting  periods 
beginning  after  1  July  2018  and  applied  them  as  required,  including  the  adoption  of  AASB  15,  Revenue  from  Contracts  with 
Customers.  Other new and amended Accounting Standards have been assessed and it has been determined that their application 
to the financial statements is either not relevant or not material. 
c.  Principles of consolidation 
As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial 
statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered (left) the Consolidated Group 
during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased). 
i.  Subsidiaries 
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated 
financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.  
The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the 
Group. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if 
doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.  
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 20 Controlled Entities of the financial statements. 
ii.  Transactions eliminated on consolidation 
All intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are 
eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. 
d.  Foreign currency transactions and balances 
i.  Functional and presentation currency 
The functional currency of each of the Group's entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment 
in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent 
entity's functional and presentation currency. 
ii.  Transactions and balances 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the 
transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured 
at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured 
at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined. 
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the profit or loss except where deferred 
in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. 
Exchange  differences  arising  on  the  translation  of  non-monetary  items  are  recognised  directly  in  other  comprehensive 
income to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in other comprehensive income, otherwise the exchange 
difference is recognised in the profit or loss. 
iii.  Group companies and foreign operations 
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group's presentation 
currency are translated as follows:

AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES  
ABN 80 148 142 634 
  assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date; 
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and 
  retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. 
Exchange differences arising on  translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the  Group's foreign currency 
translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the profit or loss in the period 
in which the operation is disposed. 
e.  Taxation 
Income tax 
i. 
The  income  tax  expense/(benefit)  for  the  year  comprises  current  income  tax  expense/(benefit)  and  deferred  tax 
expense/(benefit).  Gains and losses on discontinued operations are aggregated with the results of continuing operations for 
the purposes of income taxes up to the point where the operation no longer forms a legal part of the consolidated tax group. 
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable 
income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured 
at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. 
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as 
well as unused tax losses. 
Current and deferred income tax expense (benefit) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items 
recognised outside profit or loss. 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets 
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have 
been  fully  expensed  but  future  tax  deductions  are  available.  No  deferred  income  tax  will  be  recognised  from  the  initial 
recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit 
or loss. 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is 
realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement 
also  reflects  the  manner  in  which  management  expects  to  recover  or  settle  the  carrying  amount  of  the  related  asset  or 
liability. 
Deferred  tax  assets  relating  to  temporary  differences  and  unused  tax  losses  are  recognised  only  to  the  extent  that  it  is 
probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. 
Where  temporary  differences  exist  in  relation  to  investments  in  subsidiaries,  branches,  associates,  and  joint  ventures, 
deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be 
controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. 
Current  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  where  a  legally  enforceable  right  of  set-off  exists  and  it  is  intended  that  net 
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and 
liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income 
taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended 
that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods 
in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. 
Where the Group receives the Australian Government's Research and Development Tax Incentive, the Group accounts for 
the refundable tax offset under AASB 112. Funds are received as a rebate through the parent company's income tax return 
and disclosed as such in Note 6 Income Tax. 
ii.  Tax consolidation 
The Board of Ensurance Ltd has entered into the Tax Consolidation Regime from 1 July 2015.  This will include the preparation 
and  signing  of  a  Tax  Sharing  and  Funding  Agreement.  Ensurance  Limited  is  the  head  entity  in  the  newly  formed  tax 
consolidated group. As a consequence, the entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of 
these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements.

ANNUAL REPORT 
30 June 2019 
Under the tax funding agreement, the members of the Group are required to contribute to the head entity for their current 
tax liabilities. The assets and liabilities arising under the tax funding agreements are recognised as intercompany assets and 
liabilities at call. Members of the tax consolidated group via the tax sharing agreement may be called to provide for the 
income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. No amount has 
been recognised in respect of this component of the agreement as the outcome is considered remote. 
iii.   Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Value Added Tax (VAT) 
Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST/VAT, except where the amount of GST/VAT incurred 
is  not  recoverable  from  the  taxation  authority.  In  these  circumstances  the  GST/VAT  is  recognised  as  part  of  the  cost  of 
acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position 
are shown inclusive of GST/VAT. 
The net amount of GST/VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office in Australia or HM Revenue & 
Customs in the UK is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.  
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST/VAT component of investing 
and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. 
f.  Plant and equipment 
i.  Recognition and measurement 
Items of plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and carried at cost less accumulated depreciation (see below) 
and impairment losses (see Note 1i Impairment of non-financial assets). 
Cost  includes  expenditure  that  is  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition  of  the  asset.  The  cost  of  self-constructed  assets 
includes  the  cost  of  materials  and  direct  labour,  any  other  costs  directly  attributable  to  bringing  the  asset  to  a  working 
condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are 
located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads.  
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable 
amount  from  these  assets.  The  recoverable  amount  is  assessed  on  the  basis  of  the  expected  net  cash  flows  that  will  be 
received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to 
their present values in determining recoverable amounts.  
Where parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of plant 
and equipment. 
ii.  Depreciation 
Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the asset's useful life to the consolidated group 
commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of 
either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. 
Depreciation rates and methods are reviewed annually for appropriateness. The depreciation rates used for the current and 
comparative period are: 
Fixtures, furniture, and equipment 
Plant and equipment 
2019 
%  
2018 
% 
11.25 – 37.50 
11.25 – 37.50 
25.00 – 37.50  
25.00 – 37.50 
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An 
asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than 
its estimated recoverable amount. 
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal 
with the carrying amount of plant and equipment and are recognised net within “other income” in profit or loss.

g.  Financial instruments 
ENSURANCE LIMITED  
AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES  
ABN 80 148 142 634 
Initial recognition and measurement 
i. 
The Group has adopted AASB 9 Financial Instruments from 1 July 2018.  AASB 9 replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement, bringing together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: Classification 
and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting.  The accounting for the Group’s financial assets, financial liabilities 
and hedge accounting remains largely the same as under AASB 139, with the main changes falling under the category of 
impairment.  A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 
Financial assets are derecognised if the Group's contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the 
Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the 
asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group's obligations specified on the contract expire or are discharged or 
cancelled. 
AASB  9  contains  three  principal  classification  categories:  Measured  at  amortised  cost,  Fair  Value  through  Other 
Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) and Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVPL).  This is based on the concept that financial 
assets should be classified and measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss as they arise 
(FVPL), unless restrictive criteria are met for classifying and measuring the asset at either amortised cost or FVOCI.  Financial 
assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value.  Transaction  costs  that  are  directly  attributable  to  the 
acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value 
through  profit  or  loss)  are  added  to  or  deducted  from  the  fair  value  of  the  financial  assets  or  financial  liabilities,  as 
appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial 
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.  The application of AASB 9 had no 
material impact on the Group’s financial assets in regards to their classification and measurement. 
ii.  Non-derivative financial instruments 
Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash 
equivalents and trade and other payables. 
Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit 
or  loss,  any  directly  attributable  transactions  costs.  The  Group  has  elected  to  account  for  listed  shares  using  FVOCI.  
Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below. 
iii.  Classification and Subsequent Measurement 
Cash and cash equivalents 
(1) 
Cash  and  cash  equivalents  includes  cash  on  hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with  banks,  other  short-term  highly  liquid 
investments with original maturities of nine months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-
borrowings in current liabilities on the Statement of financial position. 
Loans 
(2) 
Loans are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market 
and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 
Loans are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end 
of the reporting period. 
Trade and other receivables 
(3) 
Receivables are usually settled within 60 days. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the 
reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets. 
Collectability  of  trade  and  other  receivables  are  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.  Under  AASB  9,  doubtful  debts  are 
calculated based on an expected credit risk model.  AASB 9 requires impairment allowances for all exposures from a time 
a loan is originated, based on the deterioration of credit risk since initial recognition.  If credit risk does not significantly 
increase, allowances are based on 12 month expected losses.  A cancellation provision is raised by looking at the previous 
12 months’ cancellations and negative endorsements as a percentage of the overall premiums sold.  (It is assumed this 
percentage  will  not  materially  change).    This  percentage  is  then  applied  to  the  trade  receivable  balance  to  create  a 
cancellation provision. 
Trade and other payables 
(4) 
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year 
which are unpaid and stated at their amortised cost. The amounts are unsecured and are generally settled on 30 day 
terms.

ANNUAL REPORT 
30 June 2019 
Share capital 
(5) 
Ordinary issued capital is recorded at the consideration received. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of 
ordinary shares and  share options are  recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any  related income tax benefit. 
Ordinary issued capital bears no special terms or conditions affecting income or capital entitlements of the shareholders. 
iv.  Amortised cost 
Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition 
less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference 
between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method. 
v.  Fair value 
Fair  value  is  determined  based  on  current  bid  prices  for  all  quoted  investments.  Valuation  techniques  are  applied  to 
determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm's length transactions, reference to similar instruments 
and option pricing models. 
vi.  Effective interest method 
The  effective  interest  method  is  used  to  allocate  interest  income  or  interest  expense  over  the  relevant  period  and  is 
equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other 
premiums  or  discounts)  over  the  expected  life  (or  when  this  cannot  be  reliably  predicted,  the  contractual  term)  of  the 
financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net 
cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an income or expense 
item in profit or loss. 
vii.  Impairment 
In relation to the impairment of financial assets, AASB 9 introduces a new forward-looking expected credit loss approach, 
replacing AASB 139’s incurred loss approach whereby the Group needs to record an allowance for expected credit loss upon 
initial  recognition  of  the  financial  instrument.    For  Trade  and  other  receivables,  the  Group  has  elected  to  measure  the 
cancellation  provision  based  on  the  expected  value  by  looking  at  the  previous  year’s  cancellations  and  negative 
endorsements  as  a  percentage  of  the  overall  premiums  sold.    As  such,  the  Group  has  assessed  the  historical  credit  loss 
experience and applied it to the current balance to establish the basis of the cancellation provision.  Other financial assets 
are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence of impairment. A financial asset is 
considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated 
future cash flows of that asset.  AASB 9 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements. 
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its 
carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. 
Financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis.  
All impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.  
An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was 
recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost the reversal is recognised in the income statement.  
viii.  Derecognition 
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to cash flow expires or the asset is transferred to another 
party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the 
asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The 
difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value 
of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. 
ix.  Finance income and expenses 
Finance  income  comprises  interest  income  on  funds  invested  (including  available-for-sale  financial  assets),  gains  on  the 
disposal of available-for-sale financial assets and changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or 
loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.  
Financial expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings calculated using the effective interest method, unwinding of 
discounts on provisions, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and impairment losses 
recognised on financial assets. All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Borrowing  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition,  construction  or  production  of  assets  that  necessarily  take  a 
substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as 
the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the 
period in which they are incurred.  Hedge accounting is not used and so the adoption of the hedge accounting requirements 
of AASB 9 had no impact on the Group’s financial statements. 
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.  
h.  Employee benefits 
i.  Short-term benefits 
Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the 
reporting  date  represent  present  obligations  resulting  from  employees'  services  provided  to  the  reporting  date  and  are 
calculated at undiscounted amounts  based on remuneration wage and  salary rates that the Group expects  to pay at the 
reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax. 
Non-accumulating non-monetary benefits, such as medical care, housing, cars and free or subsidised goods and services, are 
expensed based on the net marginal cost to the Group as the benefits are taken by the employees. 
ii.  Other long-term benefits 
The Group's obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than defined benefit plans is the amount of future 
benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods plus related on-costs; that 
benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. 
iii.  Retirement benefit obligations: Defined contribution superannuation funds 
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions onto a separate 
entity  and  will  have  no  legal  or  constructive  obligation  to  pay  further  amounts.  Obligations  for  contributions  to  defined 
contribution superannuation funds are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred. 
iv.  Termination benefits 
When applicable, the Group recognises a liability and expense for termination benefits at the earlier of: (a) the date when 
the  Group  can  no  longer  withdraw  the  offer  for  termination  benefits;  and  (b)  when  the  Group  recognises  costs  for 
restructuring pursuant to AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the costs include termination 
benefits.  In  either  case,  unless  the  number  of  employees  affected  is  known,  the  obligation  for  termination  benefits  is 
measured on the basis of the number of employees expected to be affected. Termination benefits that are expected to be 
settled wholly before 12 months after the annual reporting period in which the benefits are recognised are measured at the 
(undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid. All other termination benefits are accounted for on the same basis as other 
long-term employee benefits. 
v.  Equity-settled compensation 
The Group operates an employee share option plan. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee expense 
with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which 
the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the 
Black-Scholes pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount 
recognised is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest except where forfeiture is only due to market 
conditions not being met. 
i.  Provisions 
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable 
that an outflow of economic benefits will results and that outflow can be reliably measured. 
Provisions  are  determined  by  discounting  the  expected  future  cash  flows  at  a  pre-tax  rate  that  reflects  current  market 
assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. 
Leases 
j. 
Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal 
ownership, are transferred to entities in the Group are classified as finance leases. 
Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the Group will obtain 
ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease.

Note   1 
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised in the 
income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. 
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the 
lease term. 
k.  Revenue and other income 
Interest revenue is recognised in accordance with Note 1i.ix Finance income and expenses. 
For the year  ended 30 June 2019, the  Group adopted AASB 15:  Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which  replaced all 
revenue standards and interpretations.  Revenue will be recognised when the Group has satisfied its performance obligations, 
which occurs when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer.  This is deemed to be the policy inception 
date.  An invoice and policy documents are created at the date of inception, which specify each party’s rights and obligations, 
the  price of the policy, the  payment terms and the level of coverage.   The insured  party assumes full control at the  date of 
inception and cover is enforceable as at that date, regardless of when payment is received.  When the performance obligation 
has been satisfied, the Group will recognise as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the performance 
obligation, after excluding any estimates of variable consideration that are constrained in respect of settlement activities.  See 
Note 3 for further information. 
The research and development (R&D) tax offset, also known as the R&D tax incentive provides for a 43.5% refundable tax offset 
on  eligible  R&D  expenditure  for  entities  incurring  costs  on  eligible  R&D  activities  and  falling  under  an  aggregated  turnover 
threshold of $20m.  For financial reporting purposes, this is treated as an income tax item and recognised when the work required 
to receive the grant has been completed. 
All revenue is stated net of the amount of GST/VAT (Note 1e.iii Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Value Added Tax (VAT)). 
l.  Segment reporting 
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur 
expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group's other components. All operating 
segments' results are regularly reviewed by the Group's Managing Director to make decisions about resources to be allocated to 
the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. 
m.  Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments 
Management discusses with the Board the development, selection and disclosure of the Group's critical accounting policies and 
estimates and the application of these policies and estimates. The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing 
a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. 
i.  Key Estimate – Taxation 
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best estimates of 
directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the company as they pertain to 
current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or 
future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents the directors' best estimate, pending an assessment 
by tax authorities in relevant jurisdictions. Refer Note 6 Income Tax. 
ii.  Key Estimate —Impairment 
(1) 
Legal Parent Financial Assets related to Subsidiaries 
At  the  end  of  each  financial  year,  an  assessment  is  made  on  whether  there  are  indicators  that  the  Company’s 
investments in subsidiaries and loans to subsidiaries are impaired. Where necessary, the Company’s assessments 
are  based  on  the  estimation  of  the  value-in-use  of  the  assets  defined  in  AASB  136  Impairment  of  Assets  by 
forecasting the expected future cash flows for a period of up to 5 years, using a suitable discount rate in order to 
calculate the present value of those cash flows. The Company’s carrying amount of investments in subsidiaries as 
at 30 June 2019 was $669,754 (2018: $169,121), and loans $2,361 (2018: $nil) after an impairment loss of $231,465 
was recognised in 2019 (2018: $6,993,937). The impairment losses have been included in the parent Company’s 
results for the year. Details of the impairment loss calculation are set out in Note 29.  
In determining whether an impairment exists, management assumes that a subsidiary will only be able to repay its 
loans  to  the  extent  it  has  positive  net  assets.    It  is  also  assumed  that  the  Company’s  legal  subsidiaries  have  no 
realisable value as standalone entities and so the shares it owns in them must be fully impaired.  It is assumed that 
loans  with  each  subsidiary  are  interchangeable  and  so  the  extent  of  any  impairment  on  loans  is  limited  to  the 
amount of the net deficiency of the sub-group.

Intangible Assets 
The Company assesses impairment of intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to 
the  Company  and  to  the  particular  asset  that  may  lead  to  impairment.  If  an  impairment  trigger  exists,  the 
recoverable amount of the asset is determined. The Company used the income approach in determining the fair 
value which reflects the current market expectations about future amounts that will be generated by the intangible 
assets. This involves employing present value techniques that are dependent on the circumstances specific to the 
intangible asset and the availability of sufficient data.  
During the previous reporting period, the directors took a view to impair the full value of the software development 
costs until economic benefits flowing from this asset are material and can be determined with reasonable accuracy. 
The directors are still of the opinion that the additional economic benefits to be derived from this asset cannot be 
determined  with  reasonable  accuracy.  The  decision  to  fully  impair  the  carrying  amount  of  the  intangible  asset 
resulted in a one-off impairment charge to the profit & loss account in the prior year in the sum of $2.01 million. 
iii.  Key Estimate —Intangible assets and amortisation  
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at 
the  date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible 
assets  are  not  amortised  and  are  subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  any  impairment.  Finite  life  intangible  assets  are 
subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising 
from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying 
amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in 
the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or 
period. 
Intangible  Assets,  arising  from  software  development  costs,  are  initially  recognised  as  an  asset  when  it  is  expected  that 
material future economic benefits will be derived from such expenditure. The estimated future economic benefits are used 
to determine the recoverable amount of this asset, however, where the timing and value of these future economic benefits 
cannot be determined with reasonable accuracy, the carrying amount is written down to the recoverable amount through 
an impairment charge to the profit & loss account. 
iv.  Key Estimate —Revenue  
Under AASB 9, the Group’s Trade and other receivables need to recognise an allowance for expected credit loss upon initial 
recognition  of  the  financial  instrument  as  a  cancellation  provision.  The  Group  has  elected  to  measure  the  cancellation 
provision  based  on  the  expected  value  by  looking  at  the  previous  year’s  cancellations  and  negative  endorsements  as  a 
percentage of the overall premiums sold.  As such, the Group has assessed the historical credit loss experience and applied 
it to the current balance to establish the basis of the cancellation provision.  This makes the assumption that the rate of 
cancellation and negative endorsement will be materially the same as in the previous year and this is assessed annually.  For 
the  year  ended  30  June  2019,  a  cancellation  provision  of  7.2%  was  applied  to  Australian  receivables  and  1.2%  to  UK 
receivables.

v.  Management Judgement – Discontinued operations 
An operation is classified as discontinued when a decision is made by management to dispose of an operating segment of 
the  business.    The  sale  of  Savill  Hicks  Corp  Pty  Ltd  completed  on  12  November  2018,  it  therefore  met  the  criteria  for 
classification as a discontinued operation in the financial year and the results of this entity are disclosed separately in this 
document from the continuing operations of the business. 
n.  Amendments to AASBs and the new Interpretations that are mandatorily effective for the current period 
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial years except the following which the 
Group adopted from 1 July 2018: 
  AASB 9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards. 
  AASB 15 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. 
The adoption of AASB 9 did not have a material impact on the current period or any prior period and is not likely to materially 
affect future periods (refer to Note 1i). 
The adoption of AASB 15 had an impact on the current period (refer to Note 3) and was applied using the cumulative effect 
method.  This  resulted  in  a  credit  of  $177,602  to  retained  earnings  and  $60,915  to  reserves  at  1  July  2018,  being  the 
cumulative  effect  on  initial  application  of  the  standard.    As  permitted  by  the  new  accounting  standard,  the  comparative 
results for the year ended 30 June 2018 are not restated. 
o.  New Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable from 1 July 2018 not yet mandatory or early adopted 
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the AASB which are not yet mandatorily 
applicable to the Group have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group 
are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early.  
i.  AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019). 
AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases for the lessee effectively treating all 
leases as on the balance sheet. Short term leases (less than 12 months) and leases of a low value are exempt from the lease 
accounting requirements. Rent is no longer charged, instead depreciation and a finance charge, impacting EBITDA.  Lessor 
accounting remains similar to current practice. 
The Directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 will require representing the Group’s office rental leases in Sydney, 
Melbourne and London as finance leases, with applicable accounting treatment applied.  An analysis of the Group’s current 
exposure to leases falling under AASB 16 has shown the following impact on the net profit and net assets of the Group at 30 
June 2019: Non-current assets would increase by approximately $0.8m to recognise the right-of-use assets, less accumulated 
amortisation,  with  a  corresponding  increase  in  liabilities  of  $0.9m  to  recognise  the  lease  liability.    The  reclassification  of 
operating lease payments as depreciation and finance costs would have seen EBITDA increase by $0.3m, but net loss would 
increase by $0.1m.  Overall cashflows are unaffected, however all cash payments made for leases would be reclassified from 
operating cashflows to financing cashflows.  
ii.  AASB 2017-4: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (applicable 
to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019). 
AASB 2017-4 amends AASB 1 to clarify that a first-time adopter whose date of transition to Australian Accounting Standards 
is  before  1  July  2017  may  elect  not  to  reflect  the  application  of  AASB  Interpretation  23,  as  identified  in  AASB  1048 
Interpretation  of  Standards,  in  comparative  information  in  its  first  financial  statements  prepared  in  accordance  with 
Australian Accounting Standards.   
The Directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 2017-4 will not have a material impact on the Group’s presentation of its 
financial statements. 
iii.  Other standards not yet applicable 
There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity 
in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions

For the year ended 30 June 2019, the Group adopted AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which replaced all 
revenue standards and interpretations.  As permitted by AASB 15, the Group adopted the standard on a cumulative effect basis, 
so that prior year comparative results have not been restated. 
Commission, brokerage and fees will be recognised when the Group has satisfied its performance obligations, which occurs 
when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer.  This is deemed to be the policy inception date.  An 
invoice and policy documents are created at the date of inception, which specify each party’s rights and obligations, the price 
of the policy, the payment terms and the level of coverage.  The insured party assumes full control at the date of inception and 
cover  is  enforceable  as  at  that  date,  regardless  of  when  payment  is  received.    When  the  performance  obligation  has  been 
satisfied,  the  Group  will  recognise  as  revenue  the  amount  of  the  transaction  price  that  is  allocated  to  the  performance 
obligation, after excluding any estimates of variable consideration that are constrained in respect of settlement activities. 
To the extent a policy is negatively endorsed or cancelled, the Company still retains the right to collect the premium pro-rata 
to the point of endorsement or cancellation.  The Company estimates variable consideration based on the expected value by 
looking at the previous year’s cancellations and negative endorsements as a percentage of the overall premiums sold.  (It is 
assumed this percentage will not materially change).  This percentage is then applied to the trade receivable balance to create 
a refund liability.  The refund liability is considered an acceptable way to account for variable consideration in the standard. 
The adoption of AASB 15 is a reflection of a shift in timing of revenue recognised with no change in the quantum of revenue 
recognised.  This change arises from the bringing forward of revenue recognition from the point settlement is received to the 
policy inception date, subject to variable consideration, which is constrained to reflect potential cancellations.  Refer to the 
Consolidated Statement of Changes In Equity, which shows the quantitative impact of AASB 15. 
Set out below are the amounts by each line item in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive 
Income and the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position affected by the adoption of AASB 15.  The first column shows

Potential  deferred  tax  assets  attributable  to  tax  losses  have  not  been  brought  to  account  at  30  June  2019  because  the 
directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the deferred tax assets as probable at this point in time. 
These benefits will only be obtained if: 
i.  the  Group  derives  future  assessable  income  of  a  nature  and  of  an  amount  sufficient  to  enable  the  benefit  from  the 
deductions for the loss to be realised; 
ii.  the company continues to comply with conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and 
iii. no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit from the deductions for the loss. 
h.  Tax consolidation 
The Board of Ensurance Ltd has entered into the Tax Consolidation Regime from 1 July 2015.  This includes the preparation 
and  signing  of  a  Tax  Sharing  and  Funding  Agreement.  Ensurance  Limited  is  the  head  entity  in  the  newly  formed  tax 
consolidated group. As a consequence, the entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of 
these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements. Under the tax funding agreement, the members of the 
Group are required to contribute to the head entity for their current tax liabilities. The assets and liabilities arising under the 
tax funding agreements are recognised as intercompany assets and liabilities at call. Members of the tax consolidated group 
via the tax sharing agreement may be called to provide for the income tax liabilities between the entities should the head 
entity default on its tax payment obligations. No amount has been recognised in respect of this component of the agreement 
as the outcome is considered remote.

Group does not report diluted earnings per share on annual losses generated by the Group. During the 2019 financial year the 
Group's unissued shares under option, partly-paid shares, and performance rights were anti-dilutive.  The Group’s convertible notes 
are dilutive.

(i) A $3m convertible note was issued by the Company on 11 July 2016 at an issue price of $0.22 per note.  Each note entitles 
the  holder  to  convert  to  one  ordinary  share.    Conversion  may  occur  at  any  time  for  a  period  of  three  years  from  the 
subscription date.  If the notes have not been converted, they will be redeemed at this point.  Interest of 8% will be paid 
quarterly up until that settlement date.  On 12 November 2018, $0.5m of the notes were cancelled, forming part of the 
consideration for the sale of Savill Hicks Corp Pty Ltd. 
The conversion price of the note reduces in line with the issue price of any capital raising conducted during the life of the 
note.  As at the balance date, the conversion price was 4 cents and as such a further 62,500,000 shares stood to be issued. 
Prior to year-end, existing holders of the remaining $2.5m convertible notes were offered an extension of the notes to 30 
June  2021  on  the  same  terms.    Holders  that  opted  to  extend  the  terms  were  granted  one  option  to  acquire  fully  paid 
ordinary shares in the Company for every four shares into which their convertible notes would convert.  $2,221,488 of the 
notes were extended and $278,518 were declined and will be redeemed as per the original terms of the agreement. 
The net proceeds received from the issue of the convertible notes have been split between the financial liability element 
and an equity component, representing the residual attributable to the option to convert the financial liability into equity 
of the Company.  The equity derivative has been credited to equity (option premium on convertible notes).  The liability 
component is measured at amortised cost.  The interest component is measured at amortised cost.  The interest expense 
is calculated by applying an effective interest rate of 12.57% for the period since the loan notes were issued.

c.  Description of provisions  
Provision for employee benefits represents amounts accrued for annual leave and long service leave. 
The current  portion for this provision includes  the total amount accrued for annual leave  entitlements and the amounts 
accrued for long service leave entitlements that have vested due to employees having completed the required period of 
service. Based on past experience, the Group does not expect the full amount of annual leave or long service leave balances 
classified as current liabilities to be settled within the next 12 months. However, these amounts must be classified as current 
liabilities  since  the  Group  does  not  have  an  unconditional  right  to  defer  the  settlement  of  these  amounts  in  the  event 
employees wish to use their leave entitlement. 
The non-current portion for this provision includes amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have not yet 
vested in relation to those employees who have not yet completed the required period of service.

Note   23  Operating segments 
a. 
Identification of reportable segments 
ENSURANCE LIMITED  
AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES  
ABN 80 148 142 634 
2014 
 $ 
2013 
 $ 
The Group operates predominantly in the insurance industry. This comprises sale of insurance products & underwriting, and 
development of industry information technology. Inter-segment transactions are priced at cost to the Group. 
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are provided to the Board of Directors 
(the Board) on a monthly basis and in determining the allocation of resources. Management has identified four reportable 
segments: insurance (both in Australia and the UK), information technology and corporate overheads.  
b.  Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments 
i.  Accounting policies adopted 
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board, being the chief decision maker with respect to operating 
segments, are determined in accordance with accounting  policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual 
financial statements of the Group. 
ii. 
Inter-segment transactions 
An internally determined transfer price is set for all inter-segment sales. This price is based on what would be realised in 
the event the sale was made to an external party at arm's length. All such transactions are eliminated on consolidation 
of the Group's financial statements. 
Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to be received net of 
transaction costs. If inter-segment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to 
fair value based on market interest rates. This policy represents a departure from that applied to the statutory financial 
statements. 
iii.  Segment assets 
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to that segment that receives majority economic 
value from that asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and 
physical location. 
iv.  Segment liabilities 
Liabilities  are  allocated  to  segments  where  there  is  a  direct  nexus  between  the  incurrence  of  the  liability  and  the 
operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and 
are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings. 
v.  Unallocated items 
The following items of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not 
considered part of the core operations of any segment: 
  Depreciation and amortisation 
  Gains or losses on sales of financial and non-financial assets 
Investment income 
c.  Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments 
The Group operates in two geographical areas being Australia and the United Kingdom.  Segment results are reported under 
the Australian regulatory body’s accounting standards.

a.  The share-based payment expense is comprised of the following arrangements in place at 30 June 2019: 
i.  On 30 November 2015, 6,500,000 Performance Rights Class A (Class A Rights) were granted to Directors of the Company. 
Upon the Company achieving the target share price of $0.80, based on a 30-day volume weighted average share price, 
within 5 years, the Class A Rights will vest, entitling the holder or his nominee to 1 fully paid ordinary share in the Company 
per vested Class A Right. The Class A Rights hold no voting or dividend rights and are not transferable. At balance date, 
no Class A Right has converted, 5,500,000 had been forfeited and 1,000,000 Class A Rights remain. 
ii.  On 30 November 2015, 500,000 Performance Rights Class B (Class B Rights) were granted to Mr Adam Davey. Class B 
Rights  will  vest  on  the  introduction  to,  and  entry  into  an  agreement  with,  a  strategic  partner  to  the  Company  which 
results  directly  or  indirectly  in  a  material  increase  in  the  Company's  revenue  or  otherwise  increases  the  value  of  the 
Company, at the discretion of the Board of the Company. The Class B Rights hold no voting or dividend rights and are not 
transferable. At balance date, no Class B Right has converted or been forfeited and 500,000 Class B Rights remain. 
b.  A summary of the movements of all Company performance rights issued as share-based payments is as follows:

The weighted average remaining contractual life of performance rights outstanding at year end was 1.423 years.  
The fair value of the  performance rights  granted to Directors is deemed  to represent the value of the Directors' services 
received over the vesting period. These values were calculated using the Monte-Carlo option pricing model, applying the 
following inputs to performance rights issued: 
Grant date: 
Grant date share price: 
Deemed strike price 
Number of performance rights issued:

b.  Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management 
The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk consisting 
of interest rate, foreign currency risk and equity price risk. 
The Board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The 
Board  adopts  practices  designed  to  identify  significant  areas  of  business  risk  and  to  effectively  manage  those  risks  in 
accordance with the Group's risk profile. This includes assessing, monitoring and managing risks for the Group and setting 
appropriate risk limits and controls.  
i.  Credit risk 
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract 
obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group. 
The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial 
instruments entered into by the Group.

Note   26   Financial risk management (cont.) 
ANNUAL REPORT 
30 June 2019 
The objective of the Group is to minimise the risk of loss from credit risk. Although revenue from operations is minimal, 
the Group trades only with creditworthy third parties.  
In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debts 
is  insignificant.  The  Group's  maximum  credit  risk  exposure  is  limited  to  the  carrying  value  of  its  financial  assets  as 
indicated on the statement of financial position. 
The Group establishes that no allowance for impairment is necessary in respect of trade and other receivables. 
  Credit risk exposures 
The maximum exposure to credit risk is that to its alliance partners and that is limited to the carrying amount, net of 
any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the 
financial statements.  
Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the Group in accordance with 
approved Board policy. Such policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with financial institutions residing in 
Australia, wherever possible. 
Impairment losses 
The ageing of the Group's trade and other receivables at reporting date was as follows (standard terms of trade are 
90 days in the UK and 30 days in Australia):

ii.  Liquidity risk 
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting 
its obligations related to financial liabilities. 
The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash 
and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Group. 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the  Group will  not  be able  to meet its financial obligations as  they fall due. The Group's 
approach to managing liquidity  is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its 
liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage 
to the Group's reputation. 
Typically the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days, 
including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot 
reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. 
In addition, the Group's AFS Licensees are subject to the conditions of their AFS License. Accordingly, in meeting the cash 
needs  requirement,  the  Group  prepares  cash  flow  projections  to  demonstrate  the  Licensees  will  have  sufficient  cash 
under the terms of their license.

(4,565,546) 
(2,583,632) 
(2,464,789) 
(1,075,534) 
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will 
affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management 
is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. 
The Board meets on a regular basis and considers the Group's interest rate risk. 
(1)  Interest rate risk 
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting 
period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial 
instruments. The Group is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments. 
Due to the low amount of debt exposed to floating interest rates, interest rate risk is not considered a high risk to 
the Group. Movement in interest rates on the Group's financial liabilities and assets is not material. 
(2)  Foreign exchange risk 
Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating 
due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group holds financial instruments which are 
other than the AUD functional currency of the Group. 
The Group has no material exposure to foreign exchange risk on its financial instruments.

(3)  Price risk 
ANNUAL REPORT 
30 June 2019 
Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of 
changes in market prices. The Group does not presently hold material amounts subject to price risk. As such the 
Board considers price risk as a low risk to the Group. 
ii.  Sensitivity Analyses 
(1)  Foreign exchange  
Notwithstanding the Group’s subsidiary in the UK, namely Ensurance UK Limited, the Group did not carry significant 
financial assets or liabilities in foreign currencies in the 2019 financial year (2018: nil), and therefore was not subject 
to material foreign exchange risk, and according not subject to material sensitivities.   
iii.  Net Fair Values 
(1)  Fair value estimation 
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the table in note 26a and can be compared 
to their carrying values as presented in the statement of financial position. Fair values are those amounts at which 
an  asset  could  be  exchanged,  or  a  liability  settled,  between  knowledgeable,  willing  parties  in  an  arm's  length 
transaction. 
Financial instruments whose carrying value is equivalent to fair value due to their nature include: 
  Cash and cash equivalents; 
Trade and other receivables; 
Trust account insurance assets and liabilities; and 
Trade and other payables. 
The  methods  and  assumptions  used  in  determining  the  fair  values  of  financial  instruments  are  disclosed  in  the 
accounting policy notes specific to the asset or liability.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ENSURANCE LIMITED AND 
ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
Report on the Financial Report 
Opinion 
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Ensurance Ltd and its controlled entities 
(the  “Group”),  which  comprises  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  30  June 
2019 and consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated 
statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended on 
that date, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration as set out on pages 18 
to 61. 
In  our  opinion,  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  the  Group  is  in  accordance  with  the 
Corporations Act 2001, including:  
(i) 
(ii) 
giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of 
its performance for the year ended on that date; and  
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 
2001.  
Basis of Opinion 
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities 
under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 
Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the 
auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of 
the  Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical  Standards  Board’s  APES  110  Code  of  Ethics  for 
Professional  Accountants  (the  Code)  that  are  relevant  to  our  audit  of  the  financial  report  in 
Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has 
been given to the directors of the Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as 
at the time of this auditor’s report. 
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a 
basis for our opinion.  
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern 
We draw attention to Note 1.a.ii in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a 
net loss of $1,401,735 during the year ended 30 June 2019 (2018: $8,707,405 loss) and as of 
that  date,  the  Group’s  statement  of  financial  position  reflected  positive  working  capital  of 
$2,102,369 (2018: $1,401,835), net liability of $2,293,658 (2018: $778) and accumulated losses 
of $20,077,097 (2018: $19,074,092).

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and pay their debts as and when they fall 
due  is  dependent  upon  the  continued  and  ongoing  unconditional  financial  support  of  a  major 
shareholder.  
Should the ongoing financial support cease, then a material uncertainty exists which may cast 
significant doubt as to the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the Group 
may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business 
and at the amounts stated in the financial report.  
Key Audit Matters 
The key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement key audit matters 
are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of 
the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our 
audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide 
a separate opinion on these matters.

Our  audit  procedures  focussed  upon  the 
group’s  compliance  with  the  financial  and 
operational  requirements  of the  Australian 
Financial  Services  License  held  by  the 
Group  throughout  the  financial  year.    The 
group holds an Australian financial services 
license  for  -  Ensurance  Underwriting  Pty 
Ltd: 429874 which enables them to trade as 
an insurance broker.  Conditions attached 
to the license include the need for positive 
net  assets,  sufficiency  of  cash  flows  and 
documentation of operational matters.  
Given  the  emphasis  of  matter  relating  to 
going  concern  noted  in  Note  1.a.ii  to  the 
financial report, our review of the cash flow 
requirements and associated projections is 
a  key  area  of  the  audit,  particularly  given

  Note 30 
The  group  disposed  of  100%  of  the  share 
capital of Savill Hicks Corp Pty Ltd, effective 
on 31st October 2018. In exchange for this, 
Ensurance  received multiple  components  of 
consideration  including  cash,  settlement  of 
convertible notes and receipt of shares. The 
calculation of gain on settlement is a complex

Other Information 
The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
information included in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include 
the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. 
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we will not express 
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.  
In  connection  with  our  audit  of  the  financial  report,  our  responsibility  is  to  read  the  other 
information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the 
other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in 
the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of 
the other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard.   
Responsibilities of Directors for the Financial Report 
The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a 
true and fair view in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations 
Act  2001.  The  directors’  responsibility  also  includes  such  internal  control  as  the  directors 
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of a financial report that gives a true and fair 
view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group 
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and 
using  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  unless  the  directors  either  intend  to  liquidate  the 
Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole 
is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report 
that  includes  our  opinion.  Reasonable  assurance  is  a  high  level  of  assurance,  but  is  not  a 
guarantee  that  an  audit  conducted  in  accordance  with  the  Australian  Auditing  Standards  will 
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error 
and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected 
to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 
 
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due 
to fraud or error, designs and performs audit procedures responsive to those risks, and 
obtains audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for the auditor’s 
opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher 
than  for  one  resulting  from  error,  as  fraud  may  involve  collusion,  forgery,  intentional 
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 
  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit 
procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances,  but  not  for  the  purpose  of 
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. 
  Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of 
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 
  Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  director’s  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of 
accounting  and,  based  on  the  audit  evidence  obtained,  whether  a  material  uncertainty 
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability 
to continue as a going concern. If the auditor concludes that a material uncertainty exists, 
we are required to draw attention in the auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the 
financial  report  or,  if  such  disclosures  are  inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.  Our 
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor’s report. 
However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going 
concern. 
  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including 
the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions 
and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 
  Obtain  sufficient  and  appropriate  evidence  regarding  the  financial  information  of  the 
entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report.  
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit.  We 
remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.  
We  communicate  with  the  directors  regarding,  among  other  matters,  the  planned  scope  and 
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal 
control that the auditor identifies during the audit. 
We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other 
matters  that  may  reasonably  be  thought  to  bear  on  our  independence,  and  where  applicable 
related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most

matters.  We describe these matters in our audit report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter or when, in extreme rare circumstances, we determine that a matter 
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would 
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest of such communication.

members at those meetings; or 
ANNUAL REPORT 
30 June 2019 
EXPLANATION 
(a)  The Board is responsible for evaluating the performance of the 
Board and individual directors on an annual basis. It may do so 
with the aid of an independent advisor. The process for this can 
be found in Schedule 3 of the Company’s Corporate Governance 
Plan.  
(b)  The Company’s Corporate Governance Plan requires the Board to 
disclosure  whether  or  not  performance  evaluations  were 
conducted during the relevant reporting period. 
Due to the size of the Board and the nature of the business, it has 
not  been deemed necessary to institute a  formal  documented 
performance  review  program  of  individuals.    However,  the 
Chairman intends to conduct formal reviews each financial year 
whereby  the  performance  of  the  Board  as  a  whole  and  the 
individual contributions of each director are reviewed.  The Board 
considers  that at this stage  of  the Company’s  development an 
informal process is appropriate. 
The  review  will  assist  to  indicate  if  the  Board’s  performance  is 
appropriate and efficient with respect to the Board Charter. 
The Board regularly reviews its skill base and whether it remains 
appropriate  for  the  Company’s  operational,  legal  and  financial 
requirements.    New  Directors  are  obliged  to  participate  in  the 
Company’s induction process, which provides a comprehensive 
understanding of the Company, its objectives and the market in 
which the Company operates. 
Directors  are  encouraged  to  avail  themselves  of  resources 
required to fulfil the performance of their duties.  
(a)  The Board is responsible for evaluating the performance of senior 
executives.  The  Board  is  to  arrange  an  annual  performance 
evaluation of the senior executives.  
(b)  The Company’s Corporate Governance Plan requires the Board to 
conduct annual performance evaluation of the senior executives. 
Schedule  3  ‘Performance  Evaluation’  requires  the  Board  to 
disclose  whether  or  not  performance  evaluations  were 
conducted during the relevant reporting period.  
During  the  financial  year  an  evaluation  of  performance  of  the 
individuals  was  not  formally  carried  out.    However,  a  general 
review of the individuals occurs on an on-going basis to ensure 
that structures suitable to the Company’s status as a listed entity 
are in place. 
(a)  Due  to  the  size  of  the  Board,  it  is  not  practical  to  maintain 
separate Board Committees. The Board as a whole considers all 
matters that would normally be considered by the Remuneration 
&  Nominations  Committee.  The  Board  devotes  time  at  board 
meetings to discuss board succession issues. All members of the 
Board are involved in the Company’s nomination process, to the 
maximum extent permitted under the Corporations Act and ASX 
Listing Rules.  The Board regularly updates the Company’s board 
skills matrix (in accordance with recommendation 2.2) to assess 
the appropriate balance of skills, experience, independence and 
knowledge of the entity. 
(b) 
if it does not have a nomination committee, disclose that 
fact  and  the  processes  it  employs  to  address  board 
succession  issues  and  to  ensure  that  the  board  has  the 
appropriate  balance  of  skills,  experience,  independence 
and knowledge of the entity to enable it to discharge its 
duties and responsibilities effectively.
